COMPOSERS' HEADS ON STAMPS
Austria Issues New Series of Seven "Musical"
Postage Stamps
Some of the most artistic postage stamps to
come from Europe, according to the New York
Times, is a series of what may be called "music"
stamps, issued by Austria.
There are seven values, each bearing the head
of an eminent Austrian composer, among whom
is Beethoven, who, although a native of Bonn,
Germany, spent most of his time in Vienna and
did the greater part of his musical work there.
The pictures follow a chronological sequence
in respect to values. The oldest of this famous
group of seven, Haydn, is on the 2y 2 crown
value. Mozart appears on the 5 crown,
Heethoven on the 7 1 /? crown, Schubert on the
10 crown, Anton Bruckner on the 25 crown,
Johann Strauss, the younger, on the 50 crown
and Hugo Wolf on the 100 crown stamp, the
highest value in the set.
Wolf was a well-known songwriter who died
about twenty years ago. Bruckner, who died
in 1896, was a composer of many symphonies
and for years was the organist at Linz.
As specimens of beautiful engravings these
latest Austrian stamps are veritable gems of
art. Most of the American dealers were igno-

rant of their issue until recently. It is under-
stood that they were printed as charity stamps
and, although available for postage, are being-
sold, according to a Paris dealer, at ten tiines
their face value, the excess being used for some
charitable purpose.
The face value of the seven stamps is 200
crowns, or kronen, so that buyers at the Vienna
post office pay 2,000 crowns for the set, which,
at the present exchange, represents from 25 to
30 cents in United States currency.
The stamps bear no names. The portraits
of the musicians form the chief feature in the
design, being in a large oval in the center sur-
rounded by artistic scrolls, with "Oesterreich" in
the top panel and the value in the lower panel.
A NEW VAUDEVILLE FEATURE
Synchronized Pianolog and Pictures Prove Big
Attraction on Keith Circuit
An innovation in vaudeville was introduced
this week on the initial Johnny Collins booked
bill at the Colonial, New York. The new stunt
is a synchronized pianolog and picture witnessed
by the Keith booker recently at an Aeolian
Hall concert and immediately booked.
The piano appears in "one" with a spotlight
on it. The picture shows the musician making
his entrance and the fingering on the keyboard,
during the rendition of the Mazurka (Second)
Opus by Rudolph Ganz.
It is the intention of the Keith office to secure
pictures and piano records by Paderewski,
Irving Berlin and other famous musical per-
sonalities. The delicate synchronization be-
tween the picture and the piano record is pat-
ented.
The picture feature makes it possible to follow
the intricate fingering of the artist much better
than if he were physically present.

QUARTETS USE "THE MOUNTEBANKS"
"The Mountebanks," Easthope Martin's suc-
cessful cycle for four voices, has had several
successful presentations by the Artone Quartet,
the University Quartet of Lincoln, Neb., and
others. The Artone Quartet has presented this
work in St. Joseph, Mo.; Detroit, Mich., and
recently it was received with much favor at
New York University. Two of the separate
numbers, "The Minstrel" for tenor and "Dusk
of Dreams" for contralto, are of more than
ordinary interest. Enoch & Sons arc the pub-
lishers.
